I seem to be having issue in that every time I click one of these links then change xx to tt I just get to the home page of MEGAsynch and not the downloads, have been able to do this before but started this issue very recently

Ant ideas?

The best way for me to open and download from MEGA links is to first copy the link (right-click on it and select "Copy link", then I open Chrome and downloads are very easy after I replace the XXX by tt.

But I think you must first go on the MEGA site, create a (free) account and you will then be able to choose where you want the files to be downloaded to.
For instance on my Mac, they will go straight to a MEGAsync Downloads folder that is on my HD under my username. I also have a MEGAsync folder but I have no clue what it's for. I must say I had a MEGA crash (no pun intended...) and I had to create a new account at some point. Now it works OK.

Are you using the Mega phone app? I find the app needs to be open first otherwise it just goes to your home mega account the first time but next time it opens in the app. It's been like this for quite a while

Probably you don't need anything before "mega" in your URL. Open a "Notepad" (or whatever text editor) window, copy your URL to there, then delete manually everything before "mega", then copy-and-paste your new link.

Try some other browser. There is no need for anything like "https://" IMO.
